Will Sharpe: Hitting the right note in the new Amadeus series 

Will Sharpe as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the new series. 

There is such a thing as healthy competition, but when jealousy and envy take over, the only outcome is destruction. The new five-part television series Amadeus explores what happens when rivalries turn sour.

Based on Peter Shaffer’s Tony Award-winning 1979 play of the same name and adapted by Joe Barton, this reimagined series traces the meteoric rise and dramatic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers, the rock-star virtuoso of the 18th century, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
